Bill,
Doubt that
it applies, but I encountered a different problem with certain MFs.
AB decides
whether a symbol is a MF by checking its “continuous quotations” flag and the
only MFs I traded [Fido Select Funds] were treated as stocks because the flag
was erroneously set.

Looking
at Yahoo, for example, their data is adjusted and all fields contain

of the best.

almost
none of them adjust for dividends and/or distributions and out of the
couple that do, most of them do not do so on a timely basis.
